Book 20: Chapter 1 (9)
“Hmm, I was worried about the increase in monsters, but I didn’t expect that unidentified ones were also appearing.”
The knight who heard the report from Shin mumbled as he looked at the list of monsters reported to be in the restricted area.
There were a total of five unidentified ones. All of them were high-level monsters that Chosen One would have to deal with.
“If it turns out like last time… Ah, I’m sorry. Please don’t worry about it. Thank you for the valuable information. I would like to ask you to continue investigating. I will raise this matter.”
“Has something like this happened before?”
The knight’s words leaked out a little. Shin thought it would be better to ask, regardless of whether he would talk.
“That’s not true… No, you’re exploring within a restricted area. It would be good for you to know.”
With that, the knight told them that the wards covering the restricted area had once been destroyed. The cause was unknown, and for some reason the monsters in Wraith Plains had temporarily disappeared, and there was no damage to the surrounding area.
The “last time” mentioned by the knight was probably the destruction of the wards by the Skullface Lord. Since Shin, Wilhelm, and Rashia were the only ones who saw it firsthand, it must have seemed like an unusual situation to the knights that the wards were suddenly destroyed.
